THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SYNTHETIC AND MINK EYELASH EXTENSIONS

Photography Rights: Sarah Christensen

LADIES YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER LASH STUDIOS OFFER BOTH SYNTHETIC AND MINK EYELASH EXTENSIONS. NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T SPNET HOURS ON THE COMPUTER RESEARCHING LASH EXTENSIONS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO OR WHY TWO OPTIONS EVEN EXIST. WE ARE HERE TO ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY WE ONLY USE MINK.

SYNTHETIC LASH EXTENSIONS: 

SYNTHETIC EYELASH EXTENSIONS ARE MADE FROM A POLISHED, ACRYLIC MATERIAL WHICH LENDS TO ITS SHINIER APPEARANCE. THEY COME IN A WIDE RANGE OF THICKNESS AND CURLS, AND TEND TO BE FIRMER THAN MINK EYELASHES. WHILE THEY CAN BE APPLIED TO LOOK NATURAL, THEY ARE USUALLY USED ON LADIES WANTING A MORE DRAMATIC LOOK. THROUGH OUR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE INDUSTRY, WE'VE FOUND THAT THEIR DENSITY AND HEAVIER WEIGHT DON'T MAKE THEM A GOOD LONG TERM OPTION. 
 
MINK LASH EXTENSIONS:

WHEN WE SAY MINK EYELASHES, WE MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT MEAN THE AHIR THAT COMES FROM MINKS (WE LOVE ANIMALS AND WOULD NEVER PROMOTE ANIMAL CRUELTY.) FAUX-MINK LASHES, WHICH ARE MADE FROM SYNTHETIC FIBERS, ARE DESIGNED TO IMITATE THE SOFT, SILKY, AND VERY FINE FUR OF A MINK. FAUX-MINK LASHES HAVE BECOME VERY POPULAR BECAUSE THEIR LIGHTNESS MAKES THEM FEEL LIKE YOUR OWN LASHES! THEY ARE VERY LONG LASTING AND THEY DON'T TEND TO DROP OR TWIST WHICH CAN HAPPEN WITH DENSER SYNTHETIC LASHES. 

WHILE WE LOVE ALL LASHES, WE WANT TO OFFER OUR CLIENTS THE BEST, AND FOR US THAT MEANS FAUX-MINK LASHES. FOR ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT SYNTHETIC V. MINK EXTENSIONS, MAKE SURE TO ASK YOUR LASH ARTIST. 

UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY.

XOXO,
